Well I was reminded today after hurting my hand really badly of all the previously stupid injuries I have gotten from my hobby. So I made this thread to show, my stupidest achievements thus far. These are all true, and I had written them down in a book several years ago.

(2009) So a couple months ago, I was building my Dark Angel Bikes, I turn around to see comes my dog. His tail wagging as though he had won a big prize, In his mouth was none other than my Land Raider. Though I still wonder how the bugger got the thing to fit in his mouth, he drops it on my lap, and I look down at my now almost destroyed piece of work. And I couldn't help but laugh and then something in my hand slipped out... IT was none other than the entire glue. It instantly got into the carpet and glued my scout into the floor and with it my hand. (Which got free,) I kid YOU NOT, there is now a huge drop of what seems to be solid concrete carpet and everytime someone walks into my house asking what the gak happened here? I have to explain a very embarrassing story of how much of an idiot I was.

(2000) I also have one more... When I was 9, I always wondered. What would happen if I poured my metal glue onto a table counter with my marines on it? So 50$ later and a broken terminator and a hundreds of tears later, I knew the answer, Super Glue + Marble + Terminator = Super Glued Model to Marble which can only be removed with a freaking hammer.

(2005) So this time I was taking stuff off a sprue without a clipper (Which was right next to me at the time.) I decided to use my fingers to push out the bitz. So I come up to my first Rhino, I looked at it with excitement and I try simply pushing it out but it didn't work. So Instead of using the clippers, I kept trying to push it out. Finally I got tired of this and I pushed my Entire arm through the rhino's top hatch. I then notice my arm is stuck with the sprue. I immediately pull out my arm and oh look I have a gigantic plastic scratch that looks like a knife was pushed across my entire arm. I then start crying then suck it up (At the time I was kinda of emo) and ran up to my mom and said "Hey Mom, Something bad happened!"

(More will come.)
Anyway those are my (really) stupid stories that actually did happen.

I dropped a pot of superglue onto my jeans and set myself on fire.

Wow. Sounds like this story....

My Biking trip. Yes when I was a young and ignorant boy scout, I did not know the meaning of the word of Fire = Hurts Really bad when touched. So everyone is cooking their meals around the camp fire and then one of my 'friends' came up to the dutch oven and knocked over the coals. Though I did not know this had happened. A few minutes later I noticed something was burning, It smelt of rubber. I look down and notice. My foot was not only burning but my shoes rubber had melted. (Poor shoes.)

Well thats one of my many BSA pyro stories.

Stuck my hand to my shirt with superglue. Still can't remember how the feth it happened though...

acidently stepping on a old grot model with the pointy helmet while bear foot.

You guys know the base that comes with Crom the Conquerer? My Dad stepped on that bear foot

I think the worst I have ever done was accidently got myself stuck in a perpetual Facepalm, to tell the truth... Got some glue on my hands, something bat gak stupid happened, I Facepalmed, and never let go.

Wow I can't believe your dad could stand after standing on that

Its lucky for me the grot was plastic and the spike just broke of into my foot but that chaos lord has 2 metal horns


@glue facepalm: Did you get your hand stuck to your eyebrows ?

Oh shoot, it wasn't Crom the Conquerer, it was Harry the Hammer; that really old Chaos Warlord that they brought back as a one time offer type thing:



Just the base, the model wasn't on it yet.

Really not what the OT Forum is for.
